Title: Subsurface irrigation apparatus and method
Inventor: BYLES JOE D
IPC: A01G25/06
Filed: 1994-05-16
Abstract: A subsurface irrigation system (10) includes one or more water distributing branches (16) comprising a water emitting conduit (20) and a water deflector member (22). The water emitting conduit (20) extends through the area (A) to be watered buried at an emitting depth below the surface of the area and is capable of receiving water at one end and emitting the water at a low overall flow rate along its length. The deflector member (22) extends the entire length of the water emitting conduit (20) generally below the level of the conduit and defines a deflecting area. The water deflector (22) member comprises a layer of substantially water impermeable material and its position generally below the water emitting conduit (20) allows it to block the downward flow of water in the water deflecting area. Deflecting the water below the water emitting conduit (20) forces the emitted water laterally with respect to the conduit and capillary action in the soil draws the deflected water further laterally to saturate a significant area only to the depth of the root zone. The lateral coverage is sufficient to efficiently position several parallel water distributing branches to irrigate a large area such as a lawn area.

Title: Pharmaceutical compositions and use thereof for treatment of neurological diseases and etiologically related symptomology
Inventor: SHAPIRO HOWARD K
IPC: A61P25/28
Filed: 1994-06-28
Abstract: Pharmaceutical compositions for treatment of several neurological diseases and pathophysiologically related symptomology in other body tissues, including peripheral neuropathies, secondary symptomology of diabetes, Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, alcoholic polyneuropathy and age-onset symptomology, as well as analogous veterinary disease states, are dislcosed. Spurious pathological chemical crosslinking of normal intracellular structures is a fundamental aspect of these neurological diseases. Covalent bond crosslinking of protein and lipid subcellular elements appear to underlie the formation of polymerized aggregates of neurofilaments and other structural proteins, and lipo-fuscin. Pharmacological intervention in some neurological diseases using water soluble, small molecular weight primary amine agents and derivatives thereof, as oral therapeutic agents, may compete with cellular protein and lipid amine groups for reaction with disease-induced carbonyl-containing aliphatic and aromatic hydrocarbons. Primary pharmacological agents include 4-aminobenzoic acid and derivatives thereof to facilitate kidney recognition and removal. This invention also includes: (1) oral use of non-absorbable polyamine polymers and amine-related co-agents such as chitosan to covalently bind and sequester potentially toxic carbonyl compounds present in the diet, (2) oral use of known antioxidant co-agents and related nutritional factors and (3) use of the primary agent and co-agents in combination with known medicaments for treatment of these neurological diseases.
